Question Help: Engine Block Heater

Can anybody help this newby out by telling me where I can find the plug to my engine block heater. The weather is supposed to get into the low 20s tonight and I would like to hook it for in the am. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Try looking inside the bumper around where tow hooks would be, inside the hood under the battery box, or look inside the grille. Usually depending on the year of the truck as to location. Hope this helps. You could find the heater itself around the oil filter and then follow the wire (3 wire type electrical)

Found it

Thanks for the assistance, I found it near the right tow hook tucked into the bumper.

It was 12 degrees here this morning and I didnt have mine plugged in. I cycled the glow plugs once and she fired right up. I let her warm up while I scraped the windows.
